what's the current jw stance on retirement savings?
i know it changed.
pre1975 it was an attitude of "don't worry about retirement, this system is ending soon".
What's the current JW stance on retirement savings? I know it changed. Pre1975 it was an attitude of "don't worry about retirement, this system is ending soon". Is this still their stance or have they losen their stance now?
Do they discourage their rank & file from savings and investing in 401k/IRA ( speaking from an American perspective)?
Any and all insight, links to articles and experiences appreciated.
“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….
Thank you for this post! It was very encouraging!!
it was an opinion of someone that to be a divorced, single sister i. the organization was the lowest social standing you can have.
why are they dispised?
( what if was a scriptural divorce where husband cheated?

are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?
if this is true then how long should it take?
as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.
Lol you couldn't be more far off in your assumptions. Being brain washed by JW is not the case and has nothing to do with my conclusions.
It's the fact that I SEE with my own eyes what is going on in the world. And there's nothing good about it.
i'm in the process of being reinstated ( my df'ing story is on here).
because i've never been in this position before, i don't know how i will be treated once i'm reinstated.
i moved to a new city/state and i don't know a single person here or in my new congregation i am attending.

Post the material that is trolling by me. According to the definition intentional antagonist who lures to something. That sounds more like YOU than me.
do disfellowshipped ones who want to be reinstated still have to sit up the back of the kingdom hall, away from everyone else, not allowed to speak to anyone?.
when did you realise that it wasn't worth it and finally decided to stop playing the game?.
is your life better now?.
Yes, this is what I was told by the elders -- to sit in back and tell anyone who tries to speak to you that you are DF'd.
